Wow, it’s been awhile since I posted anything on my blog ^^; Well, I suppose that now is as good a time as any huh?
Well, in the last couple of months I’ve started a new project, a manga called “Devil’s Advocate”; basically, this is a more gritty kind of manga than Sword of Heaven. I’m really excited about working on it. Most of it’s to be posted at here
There’s been a lot going on lately actually– but things are going good! That’s a real relief.
That big thing with my character, Cerix seems to have cleared up, I’m not longer being accused of stealing a character (which is, of course a good thing.) I’ve also started a writing project “Sympathy for Sable”. I’m really enjoying just sitting down and writing, it’s been a really really long time since I did it and I think it’s refreshing. Of course, I’m still drawing art for the characters of SfS because I’m an artist and the moment a character becomes solid in my mind, I have to draw them. It’s a funny thing, usually, when a character pops into my head they come in almost complete–not their past but their appearance, personality and clothing style. I’ve read that for the most part you’re supposed to experiment with characters until you get them to “feel right”. Hnn.
I’m working really hard on Sword of Heaven again and working decently hard on Devil’s Advocate. I’m really excited to get more of them done because the two series have some tie-ins and I’d really like to illustrate those things XD. I’m having some trouble with feeling accomplished lately, however. I’m feeling less like I can draw than I used to. I think the problem might be that I really don’t have any talent for stand-alone art– I’m really more of a sequential artist and seeing so many artists who can draw stand-alone art easily (mostly on deviantArt.com) I suppose I feel incompetent because I can’t do the same. But I think after some more life drawing I should be able to do so.
I’ve been experimenting with my tone work too, the newest pages of SOH are looking really good and most of chapter two can be found here.
Lately, my sisters, my best friend and I have been planning to do some cosplay! I’ll be cosplaying as Zexion, I’m really stoked too! Of course, there’s still A LOT of things I need for my cosplay– coat, boots, Lexicon…The only thing I’ve really got already is the hair, I do have to find dye but I chopped it off for the most part it actually looks good on me..But my sister says that if I don’t let it cover one side of my face, I look like a Kate XD. It’s a funny thing to think that you might LOOK like you should have a certain name.
Recently, I found out that there’s a mother cat and a pair of kittens living in my garage– they’re adorable. We’ve named them, the mother’s name is Olive and the kittens (a boy and a girl) are named Hobbes and Beatrice. It makes me really sad that we’re just their foster family and we’ll be giving them away once the kittens have grown up. I really missed having little kittens around….
I need to get a job XD. I’ve been dying for some Prismacolor markers ever since I bought a Peach colored one I’ve been addicted to them and I can’t afford the full set ^^; …Mom says if I do well in my studies for six months (or she was saying this, I don’t know if she’s still going through with it.) that she’d buy me the 48 marker set. I really hope so ^^ The Prismacolors are SO awesome. My G-pen split recently and when I bought my new nibs, I put one in and it fell into my ink! I don’t know how the heck it happened–it was the right nib for the holder and everything -sigh-. I’m so pissed off about it still. I guess it’s not so bad though, I really prefer my round pen.
Still trying to get stuff done around the house– I’ve been putting off cleaning the basement like I promised myself I would and I’m really overdue for spring cleaning Dx I’m really not looking forward to it. But what has to be done has to be done XD wish me luck, there’s a hell of a lot of spiders down there and I need to clear them out, clean the basement and furnish it before August. Not to mention I have to help get the rest of the house in order. It’s gonna be a lot of work but I’m certain it’ll be worth it in the end.
Lots of love,
Anna.
